1maBrat Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Just got this new toy, she's an 11/77 - 1978 Brat. Stock with brand new rubber, Just turned over to 70,000 Original miles ! This is an oringinal California car with all emission controls intact. It has never been driven in winter and was with the same family since new. :cool: Just had our Brat undercoated and back Rhino lined to keep her in this special condition. We plan on a new paint job very soon, she's original green at the moment & abit dull looking BUT she's a gem in the rough. Original jump seats intact does have a newer stereo system thou "Pioneer" w/speakers NEEDS MORE POWER likes to blow fuse now and then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jibs Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 well let's see, if it's a 78, and it has the original green paint, it MIGHT look something like this one?: Am I close? Look at my signature, it might help to have a few paint examples lying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 wow jibs, i never knew you had 9 brats. jeesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibs Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 wow jibs, i never knew you had 9 brats. jeesh. One of these years I'll try to get as many as I can up to the show. Probably be around 7 or so if I can line up drivers for them all. They all need a little somethin to get them running, but most aren't doing too bad.

Just went over the 70,000 MPH but at the moment she is used at least 3 x a week. Hopefully will slow down once she's got her new paint and Dale finds his hill climber as I'm more for preserving her BUT she does play well !! So we're on the hunt for a Gen2 , so we have one for show and one for play. Our recent photo's include some of the playing Dale does with his old toys.. so he needs "MMMMMORE POWERRRRRR" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Ma, right you are about one for show one for go. I have a gen II also for show (38 kmi) But.. I have been collecting a bit longer (I have been on this planet ten years longer than ya) I'm up to 4 1/2 Brats, three gen IIs and a factory Brat go cart (=1/2) My daily user is an 86 with a Weber and custom duel exhaust - that is what Dale needs, she can keep up with traffic soto speak. With the gen II you get a duel range tranny and the 1800 - plenty of "go fast goodies" available for it. Check Qman's "Beast" - now there is a stump puller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
